We can only install pirated games to an USB device, if you want to play pirated games from your SD card, you can use Loadiine GX2

there are two types of backups available , loadiine ready games and they go inside your game folder in your SD card only ,you use loadiine to run them , you can't play online tho and you can't run them from an external or an internal HDD , the other type is Wup files , you install those to your external storage media or to your Nand using a wup installer , they work like legit CIA's.

yes ok, thanks, i understand that part :) but i'm asking what is the sd card used for in the wii u - without any hacks or piracy.
i'm surprised that we can't install apps to the sd like we can with the wii. so, what else is the sd card for? only used in wii mode?

You're supposed to put the homebrews inside your SD card and launch them through the browser --> HBL , basically the kexploit can only access whatever Mii-maker could access , and it can only access the SD card , hence why loadiine couldn't gain access of the USB drive.

no, i'm not talking about any hacks or homebrew.

SD card is used to launch homebrew launcher, which is used to launch WUP Installer (to install games on WiiU or USB).
Nothing more.
so the sd card can ONLY be used for homebrew, nintendo doesn't use it for anything?

It could carry the games (for loadiine ), the homebrews , and the Wup backups that are ready to be installed via an installer .

Edit:I haven't tried but you can upload your snapshots to your SD card , i'm not sure about the saves though.

that's weird... i would have thought nintendo would have made more use of it, at least give us the ability to save games and stuff on there, just like we can with wii.
but ok, thanks for the answers everyone :)

anyone managed to install NES Remix (EUR) ? I get a DLC related error...

NES Remix or NES Remix Pack?

Same here. Does anyone else have more info on NES Remix? There are two entries for it, which appear to be both for the first game, and no mention of the Pack version. Can this title be installed at all?
